How much water does a fountain lose in summer?
Evaporation is significant in peak summer, which is why features are designed with an automatic or easily accessible top-up rather than relying on someone noticing the level has dropped.

Water Features and Fountains
Fountains, water walls, reflecting pools and garden ponds designed for Lahore conditions, with the pumps, filtration and drainage that keep them running.
Why it matters
Planned for Pakistan's climate, maintenance and daily use
A water feature changes how a garden sounds as much as how it looks. Moving water masks traffic noise, cools the air immediately around it and gives an entrance or courtyard a natural focal point.
The features that fail are the ones installed without thinking about running cost, algae, evaporation and access for cleaning. Lahore summers evaporate open water quickly and sunlight drives algae hard.
GardenPlus specifies pump sizing, filtration, top-up supply, drainage and lighting at design stage, so the feature stays clean and quiet instead of becoming a maintenance problem.

Questions
Water Features and Fountains FAQ
How is algae controlled without heavy chemicals?
Shade, adequate circulation, correct filtration and, in ponds, planting and aeration do most of the work. Chemical dosing is a last resort rather than a routine.
Are water features expensive to run?
Running cost depends almost entirely on pump sizing. A correctly sized pump on a timer for daytime hours costs very little; oversized pumps are the usual reason a feature gets switched off.
Can a water feature be added to a finished garden?
Yes, provided there is a route for power and a drainage point. Self-contained recirculating features are the simplest retrofit for courtyards and terraces.
